* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

I have updated my contrib code for version 6.5. In the attachment you will
find the directories array, datetime, miscutil, string, tools and userlocks
which replace the corresponding directories under contrib.

In contrib/tools you will find some developement scripts which I use while
hacking the sources. I hope they will be useful for some other people.

I have also added a contrib/Makefile which tries to compile and install all
the contribs. Unfortunately many of them don't have a Makefile or don't
compile cleanly.
